Did you notice that on Lemmy you’re not able to use any alternative apps either?
… I’ll see myself out now.
There are no alternative apps yet. You are witnessing ground floor construction work. So, pick up a hammer and help out
There are at least two alternatives already: lemmur and jerboa. In addition the federation probably makes it practically impossible to block other apps and web frontends be etc. And you can run and use an old web front to your heart’s content.
I think lemur is abandoned, but yeah
Lemmur was last updated 9 months ago
If the official Reddit App was like Jerboa, I would use it.
No clutter, no recommended posts, no ads. That’s all I want
you aren’t able to use alternative app because there is no alternative app apart from jarboa on Android
That isn’t true, you can use alternative apps. It is supported, I think your issue is that there aren’t as many alternative apps for Lemmy. (yet)
‘… I’ll see myself out now.’
Yeah but that’s because it’s still very early
But also, with the fediverse structure, there is no way to lock out alternative apps. Functionally, all apps are third party.
I know this is a joke but you also have the option of making a PWA using native alpha
the sheer entitlement in this post
